The season is upon us, even if spring is not.

2018 MLB Draft Picks
#18
#33 - Compensation (Eric Hosmer)
#34 - Compensation (Lorenzo Cain)
#40 (Competitive Balance Round A)

018 Draft Names to Watch

RHP Kumar Rocker, N Oconnee HS, Georgia.
Spoiler!

OF Jarred Kelenic, Waukasha West HS, WI
Spoiler!

1B Triston Casas, American Heritage HS (FL).
Spoiler!

RHP Carter Stewart, Eau de Gallie HS (Ga).
Spoiler!

ANY Any, Any (Any). Any current top projected pick who slides for injury concerns. Includes current top prospect prospect SP Brady Singer, U of Florida.

Current Prospects to Watch:

OF Seuly Matias - Huge tools. Hit 2 HR in Lexington (A) season opener.

1B Nick Pratto - Top pick in 17 has advanced approach and good glove; needs to start tapping into power in first full year in minors. Also at Lexington.

OF Michael Gigliotti - Good defender in CF, good OBP skills, plus baserunner. Next mainstay in CF for KC, IMO. Advanced college bat also starting at Lexington.

OF Khalil Lee - Probably has highest upside in Royals' system. Could hit 30 HR in majors, could steal 30 bases. Plus defensive ability in RF. Nice test at Wilmington this year.

3B Emmanuel Rivera - Really nice approach and good contact skills. Power is still developing. Also getting a good test at Wilmington.

SP Foster Griffin - Made nice strides in 2017. Needs to continue to progress in 2018. Could be a lefty version of Jakob Junis (good breaking ball that he can really manipulate, OK fastball, good command).

1B Samir Duenez - Duenez still is intriguing, hoping for a step forward in his power production this year at Northwest Arkansas, which would turn him into a legit prospect.

Others to keep an eye on:
SP Gerson Garabito (Wilmington), OF Marten Gasparini (Lexington), C MJ Melendez (Lexington), RP Tyler Zuber (lexington), RP Richard Lovelady (Omaha), SP Dan Tillo (Lexington), SS Nicky Lopez (NWA), SP Scott Blewett (NWA), OF Brewer Hicklen (Idaho Falls),

In general, Lexington and Wilmington are the most interesting spots to watch. Nice depth and a lot of interesting pieces at both.

It's a good thing they won that makeup game with the Angels. They went 0-8 the last homestand, and are about to go 0-6 for this one. If it wasn't for that makeup game it would have been over a month since the last home win.

I know hes got this team to back to back world series but it should give everyone pause a out this year. This was supposed to be at worse a 65-70 win team. Everyone should be concerned about Moore as a GM and question if Neds heart is still in it.

No one will be surprised if Ned walks away after this year. I kinda commend him for not leaving when things were cherry. He had to know this wasn’t gonna be a great team. I put this mostly on GMDM. Ned has what he has to work with, which includes maybe the worst starting rotation in baseball and two pitchers in Hammel and Maurer that should immediately retire. He also has to play Raul Mondesi(who may become good but to date is pretty bad), Hunter Dozier(again, some potential but to this point is Kila jr.), Esky(in fairness Ned would probably play him anyway), the slightly improved but still not good at the plate Alex, and whatever other guys he can throw out there. The lineup is basically Whit, some pop from Moose and once in awhile a reminder of what Salvy was(maybe just a bad year, maybe ridden into an early career crest and fall). Not much Ned can do.

Had to be totally out of touch to look at that roster and think anything other than over 100 L's.

The difference between this roster and those 100 loss teams is that this roster has some actualy major league baseball players that will continue to play after they leave the Royals.

As did those 100 loss teams with David Dejesus, John Buck, Mark Teahen, Zack Greinke, and Jeremy Affeldt.

Seeing a lot of Moustakas and Merrifield chatter, and the Royals made tribute type social media posts to them last night.

Deals might happen soon.

Dream scenarios:

Moustakas to Yankees for something like Luis Medina and Juan Then.

Merrifield to Brewers for Corey Ray, Joe Gray Jr (2018 comp round pick connected to Royals pre-draft) and a B pitching prospect sounds about right and might be a little light.

That would explain why he’s been leaving the fastballs up and hasn’t been finishing the slider well.

I'm expecting less for Moose & more from Whit. I wondering if they'll move Duffy?

The Phillies have amassed so much starting pitching depth that the Royals might be able to convince them that Eflin is pitching over his head a bit and take a shot at him.

Eickhoff's issues are starting to sound vaguely thoracic outletish though, so the Phils may not be willing to move a guy that's made huge strides in approach and raw stuff this year. But man, snagging Eflin before this season's breakout would've been a coup and damn doable. The ship has probably sailed there...
